The Phantom-series Vertex fits in restricted spaces where otherdetectors can’t. The in-line system is designed to integratewith vertical form/fill/seal machines for pouch-packing processes.It is typically situated beneath a multi­head weigher in snackfood and powder processing applications. It utilizes the latestdigital signal processing technology to protect free-fallingproduct at high speeds, detecting and rejecting the smallest metalcontaminants, including pieces of wire, shavings, and swarf.Despite its slim stature, the unit achieves high sensitivity levelswithin a compact housing. It also incorporates the intelligence,functionality, and user-friendly operation of the Phantom digitaltechnology via a mountable remote control box.

Vertical Spout
Powerful opposing magnets mounted to the outside of the housingdraw tramp metal out of the product stream. A center diverter onthe housing inlet helps direct product toward the magnets. A singletrap face design eliminates the possibility of the captured trampmetal being washed back into the product stream. The magnetsretract from the housing, taking the tramp metal out of the productflow area. A stripper plate stops as the magnets continue toretract, separating the magnets from the stripper plate. Trampmetal is safely discarded into collection trays.

Compact Vertical-Fall Metal Detector
The MET30+ vertical-fall metal detector is 25% smaller than thestandard systems previously available. It provides manufacturerswith high levels of protection for incoming bulk raw materials inboth granular and fine-powder form, even in severely restrictedspaces. By incorporating a quick-release reject system, the amountof downtime and products rejected are reduced, while the quality ofthe material remains protected. The short height of the pneumaticreject system provides fast-acting removal of contaminatedproducts, which increases efficiency and throughput rate.

Gravity-Flow Metal Detector
Designed for dry processing applications, the Gravity FlowSD metaldetector can detect ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless-steelcontaminants in high-volume free-flowing powders and granularproducts. Available as a free-standing unit with a reducedfootprint or as a suspended unit, it has 4-, 6-, and 8-in. infeedand discharge pipes and a high-speed reject valve to divertcontaminated products. Utilizing quick-release clamps, the rejectdiverter can be dismantled quickly without tools and swung open toallow thorough cleaning of both the throughput pipe and the rejectmechanism, saving time. An intuitive user interface offers rapidoperator training and ease of use for maximum uptime. Patented ZeroMetal Free Zone technology minimizes the installation spacerequired by the detector, enabling it to integrate easily into newor existing lines and saving costs.

Tramp-Iron Grate-in Housings
TGH tramp-iron grate-in housings incorporate Erium ceramic, RareEarth, or Xtreme Rare Earth magnet material to remove ferrouscontaminants from free-flowing products as they cascade throughrows of magnetic grates within a custom-manufactured housing.Standard grate housings are offered, but customized designs can bemade to fit specific installation requirements. Typical TGH unitsinclude a stainless-steel rectangular housing that holds multiplerows of powerful 1-in.-diam tube magnets, which attract and holdfine ferrous contaminants as material flows around the magnets. Avariety of optional features, including adapters, sanitaryfinishes, additional magnet rows, and more, are available to meetunique application needs.

Continuous-Cleaning Drawer Magnet
The continuous-cleaning HF drawer magnet can be used in anygravity-flow application in which continuous product flow isrequired. It is ideal for any operation that runs 24/7 because itnever needs to be stopped for cleaning. It cleans on the flywithout disrupting product flow. The magnet keeps the operationgoing, saves labor costs, keeps product moving, provides magneticprotection during the entire process, and simplifies installation.Tailor-made units are available to fit specific requirements.
